Not on a good e-mail client, sorry for top post. Yes, you should have pause for Tx & Rx, or lldpad/DCB which provides Per-Priority-Pause, but you're probably not doing convergence, so normal pause is fine.
You mean a VM initiator to a VM target? If so, I'm not sure if anyone has tried that.. //Rob -----Original Message----- From: Andy Grover [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2011 11:22 PM To: Love, Robert W Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Open-FCoE] FCoE development On 02/17/2011 10:39 AM, Robert Love wrote: > Open-FCoE provides FCoE support for any Ethernet adapter, some have > offloads and some don't.

Hi Rob, sorry to revive an old-ish thread.. Two systems back-to-back, ethtool -a needs to show TX & RX pause enabled for both ends? I'm also interested with experiences doing fcoe development in a VM. Does VM--VM traffic ever result in dropped frames, I wonder?
